Its All About Raising Awareness
Hopefully some of you will be reading this, because of the emails I have sent, facebook messages I have sent or from me posting this on forums. I am starting to realise what a valuable tool the Internet is, especially for people affected by cancer at a younger age, as it is such a part of our lives.
I got diagnoised with lymphoma in January 2009 after a year travelling and having the time of my life. This blog will hopefully raise awareness of lymphoma and about what life is really like living with Hodgkin's.
26.12.08 - Outpatients to get pain killers for backpain. Suggested I return to GP asap.
24.12.08 - First blood test.
18.12.08 - Back to the GP, still experiencing back pain and had flu like sypmtoms. Told I had a viral infection and to 'ride it out'. Referred to osteopath. Bed all day with 'flu' 18th & 19th.
04.12.08 - First went to GP with back pain and trouble sleeping.
luv your blog!
